December £,1918.
This is about my tenth day in France,and until now I have had
no chance to write.I will hit the high spots in this letter,and write
more in detail later. We left Hoboken the day after the armistice was
signed, on the Northern Pacific,and landed at Brest just ten days later.
It was quite an arduous trip because they ran as in war time with
convoy and without lights.Every one was very seasick for a couple of
days.Brest is a very picturesque city,and very different from anything
in the United States. It rained all the tine we were there and I guess
that is the kind of weather they generally have.We staid Ji^ere in a
rest camp for four or five days,and it was some rest camp! We were work-
ing all the time and I did not have a chance to wash my face or shave
for four days.
After leaving Brest,we traveled four days and nights in a French
train which had compartments with light in each one.It was a tqngh ,
/ y.- ride,butyl gness it was a degree fretter^Uian the 3*9c> £*/#■
